2017 Universal Remote Not Working

[caspian27]

So my universal remote stopped working. I assume there is a battery in there and I tried a little to pry this off to see how to replace it but it didn’t come right off and I didn’t want to break it.

Does anyone have experience with how to get this off and replace the battery?

Thanks!

I don't think there's a battery. Do your vanity mirror lamps work?

Yeah, there's no little battery in the visor. It's powered by the same circuit as the visor vanity lights. Does the red LED light up if you move the visor over toward the driver's window? There have been issues with the visor wiring harness in the past. But if neither visor vanity lights work it's most likely a fuse.

There is no separate battery.

The visor and HomeLink feature is supplied as an assembly (the remote is not serviced separately).

Push and hold one of the buttons. Do you see the small LED red light flashing? If so, the remote is functioning.

Is it possible you lost synchronization with the opener(s) that were programmed?

Have you tried to re program the unit, per the owner’s manual instructions?

The vanity lights on the driver side are in fact not working. Good call.

Is there a fuse associated with that side?

The red lights do not work at all; which is why i thought a battery might be dead. I never use the vanity light so it didn’t even occur to me to check that.

The vanity lights and the universal remote lights turn on when the visor is moved towards the drivers window so it does appear to be an issue with the wiring.

Thanks for the help everyone.
